This is a very old kettle made by a small foundry using flask cast method. Stylistically its very much an early American piece with a heavy bottom gate mark, New England style ears, heavy triangular legs and a square section hand wrought bail. Side has a stylized crown like mark (inside what I think is a pair of wings) beneath the letters B and R with what looks to be a stylized flask which looks to have been an artistic interpretation of an ampersand (&) between the letters. There is a casting void (a hole) which goes all the way though the wall of the kettle about 2/3 of the way down that right “wing”. It is less than a 1/16” wide. Interior is beautifully smoothed with obvious pouring flaws still visible. \Yes you could use this but I think this should be a display piece.

Marked “B & R” please note the “&” is my interpretation of what the artistic flask between the letters is.

This is a museum quality display piece, but it could easily still be used. With a hand wrought bail which was threaded at the ends and hand peened swiveling hanging hook. Dates to 1860-1900 making it roughly 120-150 years old (Give or take a decade). Ring and bail were designed for cooking over an open or hearth fire. Piece has bottom gate and three stubby feet for stabilizing it when put down. Cooking surface is remarkably good with an almost glassy feel over much of it. There are some rougher spots where casting flaws and some patches of pinpoint pitting has occurred, but a remarkable piece in using shape. Would be amazing for display or even for re-enactors. Could be used on a stove. Bottom has pitting from wood fire use.

No cracks, chips. Not designed for stove use and even with the feet it would have wobble on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is very good, not quite glassy, but outstanding for the age and type of piece. Some pinpoint pitting in patches and a few casting flaws on the cooking surface. Would improve greatly with use.

At first glance this seems a very ordinary fancy handled round griddle, but when you turn it over you see a very unique handle design and unusual marking. I have no clue who made this piece (and I’d really like to know as it is one of the coolest handled griddles I’ve ever stumbled across). Handle is hollowed on the upper side with what almost appears to be a deep well at the edge where the handle meets the griddle. Cooking surface shows some some big voids where pouring occurred and air or debris was trapped. Outside of that area surface is very nicely smoothed. Bottom has a nice distinct inset heat ring. Inside the ring you can see minor pitting from use on a wood stove.

This is an great bailed griddle, over 100 years old. It has raised number “14” and mold on the bottom and New England style ears. Cooking surface is outstanding, mostly flat and smooth but has some interesting pouring flaws, and a few tool marks. The bottom shows a light uniform sulfur pitting which occurred from use over a wood stove. Will be outstanding for pizza and the like. Please note – bails on these were really for storage and stabilization, not for hanging your piece over s fire (they do tip).

No cracks, or chips. Tiniest hint of a wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is outstanding for the age, but not dead flat as pouring flaws provide some bumps in the surface. Will only get better.

A real mystery piece, and a very uncommon one as few foundries made dutch ovens in this size. This is a gate marked dutch oven body made after 1865 but before 1900. Gate is wide and crude which suggests an earlier date but the bail is machined wire, which was not available until after 1962. While the bail could be a replacement, I don’t feel comfortable dating he piece as earlier. Pot interior surface is pitted but not enough to prevent use. Markings are all on bottom and are raised and crude.

Nice little scotch bowl #3 made between 1870-1910 by an unknown foundry. Nice simple design, clean lines. Has some casting flaws on the interior and some very light pitting but this one will be great for use. Nice bail with wood handle makes it easy to handle

No cracks, chips, or wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is mostly smooth but has casting flaws and some light pitting. Pits should smooth over and fill in with use. Will only get better.

More of a display piece than a user, but it could absolutely be used, especially for deep frying, soups, and stews. Scotch bowl #4 with ring stand base made between 1870-1910 by an unknown foundry. Has a fair bit of pitting on the interior and some more on the outside and bottom from being used over a wood fire or stove.

Nice older six cups baking pan (the cookies/cakes they made were known as gems – hence the name gem pan) for pastries in the fluted design known as the “Turks Head”. Over 100 years, possibly even 150 years old. Wing style handles and twin gate marks on the center cups that have been mostly smoothed. Sits on the gates, so does not sit flat on a sheet of glass.

A display piece that will look great in any kitchen. This is an old spider skillet which was made for hearth or fireside cooking. It looks primitive and is not suitable for using without a repair so it has been made ready for display. Sits on three triangular legs. Gate marked on the bottom. We are calling this a display piece because of a small (slightly larger than a pinhole) hole in one wall.

9” 7/8 diameter, 5” 1/4 tall. Handle is 7 long.

Cleaned via electrolysis and painted to prevent rust for display.

This piece was rough when it came in, so rough that restoring it was the only option in order to save it. And it appears to be old – as in close to 200 years old. Bottom gated with very fine casting. It appears to read E. T. Clark, but there is enough pitting on the bottom to make what I think is a “k” indistinct and the “2” is hard to read too. If there are other markings I cannot find them. There was an English firm called Edward Thomas Clark from 1827 -to 1836 (when it was renamed T. C. Clark). If this is the case this is one of the very first piece made for wood stoves (as it has a heat ring) which only came into use at about those same dates This has no bail, or bail attachments which again suggests age. Sadly the piece has two hairline cracks and a chip from somewhere in it’s lifespan which detracts quite a bit from it, BUT at this age the fact it is in such good shape and could even be used is pretty amazing. Heck if you added 2 layers of seasoning to this you could probably seal the cracks so well that you could use it normally. Evidence of more than a century of use is seen in tool marks and light pitting and even some casting flaw. That said the interior is remarkably smooth – similar to modern Lodge cookware even at it’s worst spots. I believe this is a flask cast piece, but so finely done that the line can only be noted on the squaring of the interior of the bowl.

Marked: “E. T. Clar(k) N(o. 2)” writing in brackets is to the best of my ability to read. There may be additional markings but if so they are illegible to me.
